Do you want to build a PC? You will need to plan the PC case that you will use. The case affects many things in your PC building process. The type of motherboard, the graphics card, power supply, and others are only compatible with a certain type of computer case. For that reason, we have the guide to choose the computer case that you can use. At least, you need to consider these 4 factors before choosing.
The Computer Case Compatibility
Just like we mentioned, compatibility is the main issue here. You can see the case compatibility from two factors, the form, and the clearance factor. You can see the form of the case, by looking at the motherboard that fit inside the case. There are 4 forms that you can choose here, which are:
- Full Tower (large size),
- Mid Tower (medium size),
- Micro-ATX (small size),
- Mini-ITX (smallest size).
For the clearance factor, there are three things you need to consider. They are the graphics card length, the cooler height, and liquid cooling radiator size.
The Cooling System and Air Flow
Keep the temperature inside CPU at normal or lower level is what you need here. A lower temperature will help your PC performance in good condition. In order to keep the temperature, you will need to install a lot of cooling system. This is where the PC case has a big role.
You must find PC case that can hold many inner fans. Moreover, the grilled panel in the front, side, and back, also is important for airflow inside the case. Then, the last but not least, it also has enough room to hold a CPU cooler system, for example, you can use the liquid cooling radiators and such. Find a PC case that has these three functionalities, and you are good to go.
The PC Case Material
The material affects your PC case durability and how long you can use it. Of course, PC case with the good-quality material will last longer. It also much sturdier and can protect the hardware inside better than the cheaper case. However, if you don’t have enough budgets, you can still use the cheaper case. Just get ready to replace it more often than the expensive one.
The Aesthetic Aspect
We put this on the last part of the article because we think, this aspect isn’t that important for some people. But, if you think you need to make your PC looks awesome, you also need to consider this part. There are actually not that many unique or wow design for PC case.
In fact, we usually buy the standard design, with the good-quality material, and paint it like what we want. That’s enough to deal with the aesthetic aspect of our computer case. Just need to use spray paint and it’s done.
Conclusion
So, choosing the best computer case isn’t difficult, actually. Those 4 factors will help you decide which product that you want to buy. And, if it can work fine like what you want, that’s the good computer case for you.
